I knew that would get your attention! Maybe you should give it a go. Do Australian machines work in England, and vice versa?

Well probably not :P

But there's always voltage conversion and the like.

Actually Australia and England are on the same voltage 220-240. Its just a matter of getting a plug adapter and it will work.

it might work in the US but I would have to use either the Dryer outlet or the Stove outlet to run it

I recently had a bad Ebay experience :P

Fact of the matter I guess.

Well they said it worked well..but it was all rattling and smelling of burning.

Bearings shot I believe.

It -is- fixable, but it's still false advertising lol.

I haven't got nasty with the guy cuz I know him as a Vacuum "enthusiast" :)

Hey mate !
Yup Australia uses 240v so that wouldnt cause a problem :-). Have you contacted the seller on the stick vac ?. I know who it is as well and must admit im kinda suprised there was a problem - as it goes i nearly bid on that but decided against it in the end !

Of course it was made in france ;p

I'm no racist but they really don't know how to make stuff.

LOL I jest, i'm sure an experienced repairman could fix the problem easily, Seamus :)

Also sounds like the bearings I would say it might be worth fixing but check to make sure.
